Baldur's Gate 2 had the same joke, but I'm not sure if it had the exact same quote as well.

Speaking of Baldur's Gate:

If you've got a straight answer ANYWHERE in that bent little head of yours, I want to hear it pretty damn quick or I'm going to take a large blunt object roughly the size of Elminster AND his hat, and stuff it lengthwise into a crevice of your being so seldom seen that even the denizens of the nine hells themselves wouldn't touch it with a twenty-foot rusty halberd! Have I MADE myself perfectly CLEAR?!"

Ahem.

Pretty much any of the technology or building quotes from Alpha Centurai.

We hold life to be sacred, but we also know the foundation of life consists in a stream of codes not so different from the successive frames of a watchvid. Why then cannot we cut one code short here, and start another there? Is life so fragile that it can withstand no tampering? Does the sacred brook no improvement?

Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, "Dynamics of Mind"

The Warrior's bland acronym, MMI, obscures the true horror of this monstrosity. Its inventors promise a new era of genius, but meanwhile unscrupulous power brokers use its forcible installation to violate the sanctity of unwilling human minds. They are creating their own private army of demons.

There are only two sorts of people in this world: Artillery operators, and their targets! - Wargame: EE (Quote is paraphrased, in the game every artillery operator says it in their own native langauge).

"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee"

What a lovely quote! It contains so many conflicting emotions and tells a succint but emotional story of the life of the everyguard. In his voice I hear admiration for my chosen profession, wistfulness and maybe even a hint of jealousy -- but also a head-patting brotherly affection, reminding me that in some way's I'm a mere upstart and other people in this world were following quest markers long before my time. I hear Uncle Rico (from Napoleon Dynamite) saying "You ever wish you could just go back?" and a reminder that nothing is certain. Is the guard indulging in wholesome memories of younger years, or is he whiling away the days pining for pristine knees? Or is he just making excuses for his lack of courage or skill, or whichever other reason it is that he never made it to the majors?

(On a more superficial level -- is there one particular bandit who goes around targeting knees, or is this a coincidental epidemic?)

Speaking of Skyrim, I'm sure I speak for us all when I say that boarding a bus or other form of transportion-for-hire is now an exercise in resisting the urge to ask, with hesitant hopefulness, "C-can you...can you take me to any one of the Holds?"

The Secret of Gargoyle Manor, a browser point-and-click adventure about retrieving your lost hat whatever the cost, is something you could play!

"Gnash them snappers, kid; I got a sock that eats like a meal. This putrid, unwashed, puss-soaked, blood-crusted sock was fermenting around a gangrenous stump of a foot for eight and half months. This is the chewiest, smelliest sock you'll ever have the luck to nosh on. And you're just a short Q&A away from suckin' this baby dry."

The first one was eaaassy of course as it had a character name but it was so fitting it had to be included. The second one was Cespenar from Throne of Bhaal, not Deeking of NWN. However those who said that get 1/2 points for being in the right realm.

Some great ones from System Shock 2, my favourite 'last words' and the only game I didn't mind audio-logs in. Not that it made any more sense there but at least it was fresher.

"They've killed my men and now they've killed me. I'm holding my guts inside me with both hands; I'm almost done. Resist. This is bigger than my little life, the lives of my men, and the lives of the people I was forced to kill. Resist. Humanity demands it. Resist."
